As performed by BING CROSBY in the film "I Surrender Dear":


I had you, I held you, you gave me all
And your love dreams I shattered beyond recall
Now that I've lost you, please understand
I'm here forever at your command

(Whistling)

I want you, I need you, more than you know
Whatever, don't ever tell me to go
Once more to have you, love would be grand
To live forever at your command


********************


As recorded by BING CROSBY for record release:


The thrill of a new love has faded away
Mistaken, awakened am I
Wanting you near me, sincerely I say
Forgive, forget, will you try

I had you, I held you, you gave me all
Your love dreams I shattered beyond recall
Now that I've lost you, please understand
I'm here forever at your command

I realise now that I've lost my prize
Tell me how can I live this way
Foolish conceit, at my heart it would beat
And to think that my heart would obey

I want you and I need you, more than you know
I'll worship your love, dear, wherever you go
Once more to have you, love would be grand
To live forever at your command

(Piano Solo - Harry Barris)

I realise now that I've lost my prize
Tell me how can I live this way
Foolish conceit, at my heart it would beat
And to think that my heart would obey

I want you and I need you, more than you know
Whatever, don't ever tell me to go
Once more to have you, love would be grand
To live forever at your command
